Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is an action-adventure game and a sequel to the 2010 game, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, and the 35th installment on the Castlevania franchise. The game was developed by MercurySteam and published by Konami. This is MercurySteam's last contribution to the franchise. The story is set in both medieval and modern worlds. As in the previous game, the player controls Gabriel Belmont, now known as Dracula, as he fights through an open world. During the game's opening sequence the player is able to control Dracula while he still possesses all his powers as well as all of his weapons. Dracula's main weapon is his Blood Whip, a weapon that is comparable to the Combat Cross from the original Lords of Shadow. Replacing the magic system from the previous game are the Void Sword and the Chaos Claws. The Void Sword can replenish Dracula's health when used while the Chaos Claws can be used to break through enemy defenses and deliver powerful attacks. The story mode in Lords of Shadow 2 has been stated to be far longer than the previous one. The game is mainly an open world allowing the player to choose what route to take. This game also features a movable camera, something that was not available in the first Lords of Shadow game.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 features memorable combat in a forgettable world.” - Exceptional combat mechanics - A deep upgrade system for multiple weapons - A well designed system that encourages you to learn moves - Bland level designs - Doesn’t feel like Castlevania - Some odd design choices. Castlevania: Lords of Shadows 2 marks the 35th installment of the Castlevania brand, and it stands as the conclusion to the franchise’s most recent reinvention at the hands of Spanish developer MercurySteam.

For third person action veterans it probably won’t quite cut the mustard, but for Castlevania fans who are still digging the reboot this will be another good title in the reimagining of a classic series. Top game moment: Finally taking down a troublesome boss on the fifth or sixth try. Should you not be aware, it’s a third person action fighter with some explorative and puzzle elements.
